I’ve been craving caffeine a lot since running this stack. I mean I went from barely intaking caffeine to intaking at least 100mg per day since the second week of my first cycle. It’s my mind and body demands that I need an extra dose of energy so it can implement these subs changes.
I had a situation yesterday where I listened to a new song I liked, but didn’t save. I thought about this song all day trying to remember it all morning, but couldn’t. Then during the afternoon I finally remembered the first word of the title, and boom, my mind just filled in the blank.
I’m actually excited to start my run of QLST4 tomorrow. I’m really looking forward to it.

I’m taking a course on ‘thinking’ called ‘Kwik Thinking’.
In yesterday’s video, the topic of why people never change came up. The instructor told a story about how he met the author, Deepak Chopra, during a networking event.
In asking him about thought and why people never change, Deepak says “The human mind thinks about 65000-70000 thoughts per day. 95% of those thoughts are the same as yesterday.”
I thought ‘Damn, that makes so much sense’

My hypnotist recommended I read How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big by Scott Adams. He says it should be my “bible” for successful thinking. I’ve made it to the part about goals vs systems and here is what Scott has to say on the topic:
“To put it bluntly, goals are for losers. That’s literally true most of the time. For example, if your goal is to lose ten pounds, you will spend every moment until you reach the goal-if you reach it at all- feeling as if you are short of your goal […] Goal-oriented people exist in a state of continuous pre-success failure at best and permanent failure at worst, if things never work out. Systems people succeed every time they apply their systems in the sense that they did what they intended to do. The “goals” people are fighting the feeling of discouragement at each turn. The systems people feel good every time they apply their system. That’s a big difference in terms of maintaining your personal energy in the right direction.”
I think this approach may work better for me. I find setting goals difficult because of my tendency to overthink and overanalyze whether or not I achieve a particular goal. And then I feel like a complete failure when I don’t hit that goal instead looking back at how far I’ve come.

I think QLRoM is tackling my perfectionism issues. I’m finding it easier to journal about whatever instead of overthinking it.

I watch another video of Kwik Thinking.
Things I learned:
Questions are the answers. The questions you ask yourself determine what’s important to you. Questions activate the RAS(Reticular Activation System) in the brain, so what you question you focus on.
Empowering Questions when learning something new:
“How can I use this?”
“Why must I use this?”
“When will I use this?”

My desire to learn has noticeably increased. I’m listening to audiobooks, watch course videos, etc. all without having to force myself to. It isn’t significant, as I still waste my time to unimportant things, but I see the improvement.

I need to really start asking myself “Is this adding value to my life?”

I don’t know exactly what to do. That’s fine.
In the meantime, what are the actions that will most likely contribute to creating the reality I want?

I got hit by recon this afternoon in the form of fatigue. I decided to leave work 3 hours early to get some rest. Ended up taking a 5 hour nap. I knew when I jumped straight to stage 4 of QL there was going to be some pushback.
RoM has got me really contemplating what I should put focus and energy into.
Starting a cybersecurity bootcamp next Tuesday, in which my company is paying for, so I’m grateful for that.

Having balance between the areas of your life is b.s.
Instead of balance, you want harmony between the areas of your life.
Monitor your language. You don’t have to go to work. You get to go to work.

I find myself having the strong desire to listen to audiobooks while I work. I try my best to learn stuff, but the only thing I’ve learn is that the auditory style of learning may not be for me lol. I’m hoping QL can change that because I want to be limitless in my ability to learn no matter how.
Rest
There are no such things as problems; just puzzles to solve.

Last night, I got in a really good night’s sleep. I had nudge to go to bed around 925 pm and I set my alarm for around 510a. I slept and woke up 5mins before my alarm and felt great. When I wake up, I usually hit my alarm clock, set it for another 20-30mins, and then get back in bed.
Since I’ve started QLSt4 this week, I’ve been leaving my job at least 2 to 3 hours early. I don’t know if it’s recon or what, but I’ve been feeling like f*ck this job. I’m burned out.

I think my intuition is becoming stronger. I forget where I park sometimes when at work or another public place with a parking lot. This week, when I have forgotten where I’ve parked, I’d just start walking. I’d get a subconscious nudge to look in a certain direction, and then boom! There she is! My car appears in my direct line of sight even though I’ve completely forgotten where I parked.

I just listened to another three minutes of both QL and RoM. I want to see how it’ll affect my sleep. I plan on going to bed in about in hour or so.

Yeah, listening before bed is not for me. At least not with this stack.

I think I may have quit porn for good. Not sure yet. Right now I don’t have any desire for it, even though I spent almost 8 years trying to quit. My mindset is “If she ain’t getting naked for me, I don’t wanna see her naked”
The biggest thing that helped was that I stopped beating myself up about watching it and ironically I lost interest in it.
